Handmade Christmas

My mom is super talented. For Christmas growing up we would often get at least one homemade present from her. I always loved it so much! There is something about opening a skirt that comes wrapped in a shoe box, knowing that it is worth so much more than any other present because of the love and hard work that went into it.

Me and Todd had good intentions in making each other ONE homemade present for Christmas. But, when Christmas eve came and neither one of us had started making the present yet, we abandoned the idea-for sanity's sake. We went to bed semi-early on Christmas eve, and that was our gift to each other!

I did manage to get my present for Luke done though! Whew! It's a giant stuffed Muno head!

Muno is a character from Luke's favorite show Yo Gabba Gabba

It was super easy, I mean, he's just made out of shapes! I just cut the outline by looking at a picture of Muno. Then sewed an eye, mouth and teeth on. I put a huge black button for the eye because Luke has a fascination with buttons-I thought he'd like that. Then I stuffed him. He looked a lot better before Luke rolled around with him and sat on him, but it was way fun and I am excited to do MUCH better next year!
